Después de graduarse de la Universidad, el primer trabajo de mi hijo fue manejar un camión de publicidad por diferentes partes del país, y asistir a eventos y intentar promocionar un producto u otro, pero esto empezó a volverse loco, y ahora se queda local y trabajo con ventas comerciales- Ojalá que tenga suficiente ambición por ascender en la empresa.

After graduating from his University, my son’s first job was to drive an advertising truck through different parts of the country, and attend events and try to promote one product or another, but this started to drive him crazy, and now he stays local and works in commercial sales- I am hoping that he has sufficient drive to move up in the company.

My husband's first job after college was to drive a truck delivering blackboards. - sanlee, Dec 8, 2014
He enjoyed it at first- sort of getting paid to go to parties and games, but living out a motel wore on him. He did get to see all corners of the US though. - bosquederoble, Dec 8, 2014
